BMC Top 5 Singles for 10/1/10 to 10/7/10:

1. Love the Way You Lie - Eminem ft. Rihanna

2. Like a G6 - Far East Movement

3. Airplanes - B.o.B ft. Hayley Williams

4. Club Can’t Handle Me - Flo Rida and David Guetta

5. BMF (Blowin Money Fast) - Rick Ross

Rick Ross at #5 is a little surprising, but otherwise, nothing too shocking. Love The Way You Lie is still lapping the competition, and pop EDM is alive and well.

Throwback Thursday: Billie Jean - Michael Jackson

Tempo: 117 bpm Bpm range: 115 to 120 bpm The DJ’s Take: An iconic pop track that any dj should have in their rotation. No excuses. A good list of key-compatible songs to mix or mash up with, including: Solo Dance - Martin Jensen Routine - Alan Walker x David Whistle Safe And Sound - Justice D.A.N.C.E. - Justice Say My Name - ODESZA ft. Zyra This Town (Tiesto Remix) - Niall Horan Welcome - Martin Garrix & Julian Jordan Get Lucky - Daft Punk If you're willing to drop a couple bpm's, blending this with Poison - Bell Biv Devoe is pure gold. Download or stream the song: Apple Music iTunes Amazon

Starboy - The Weeknd, Daft Punk

tempo: 93 bpm bpm range: 90 to 95 bpm The DJ's Take: Song #6 in our chapter 53 mix (11:38): As we saw with the I Wonder lead-in, that percussion-only intro makes this easier to mix and to play around with. Also melts nicely into Nine Inch Nails' Closer . In fact, even though I know when the transition's coming, it still creeps up on me a bit. Still worth a spot in your prime-time pop rotation. Some other key-compatible music: Old Thing Back - Matoma & Notorious BIG Back To Sleep - Chris Brown One More Chance (Remix) - Notorious BIG Shoop - Salt N Pepa Out of the Woods - Taylor Swift This Is How We Do - Katy Perry Na Na - Trey Songz Paranoid - Ty Dolla $ign No Games - Serani Download or stream Starboy: spotify playlist amazon

Uptown Funk - Mark Ronson ft. Bruno Mars

tempo: 115 bpm bpm range: 115 to 120 bpm the DJ's take: Mix or mash up with James Brown's Living In America , and you'll have done about the best thing you can with this track. A banner track for the 2010s. Seriously overplayed everywhere in the past couple years, so let it breathe a little and pick your spots. Solid roster of key-compatible hits to mix / mash up with: Between 110 and 115 bpm: Like A Prayer - Madonna Shining - DJ Khaled, Jay-Z, Beyoncé Get Ugly - Jason Derulo Grenade - Bruno Mars From 115 to 120 bpm: 1999 - Prince Tik Tok - Ke$ha Ain't Nobody (Loves Me Better) - Felix Jaehn ft. Jasmine Thompson I Don't Like It, I Love It - Flo Rida Love Never Felt So Good - Michael Jackson All My Love (Remix) - Major Lazer Motown Philly - Boyz II Men download or stream the song: amazon spotify playlist (110 to 115 bpm) spotify playlist (115 to 120 bpm) iTunes
